42nd Anniversary Report

Open House

Saturday June 16, 2012
Our Lady's Workshop
12 - 4 p.m.

About 75 pilgrims gathered for the Open House at Our Lady’s Workshop. They got a first-hand look of our sizeable operation when they toured the offices and pressroom. They also enjoyed good conversation, refreshments and our gardens.

President Michael Mangan, Lay Order of St Michael (LOSM), explaining the nuts and bolts of the Art Department, including the graphic design of the brochures and the website design and maintenance, with Fr. Terry Brennan, who, interestingly, came to Our Lady's Shrine 3 times as a young man about 28 years ago.
